POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
perspectives
a home so deserted
when you're standing alone
with everyone by your side
on the desert you stand
in the place you seek home
with everyone by your side
on the desert you stand
in the place you seek home

my home
cause baby you feel like home
and I don’t wanna lose you know
to know how it feels to
lose my other half
I don’t wanna know
The life ahead without the sight of you
and I don’t wanna lose you know
to know how it feels to
lose my other half
I don’t wanna know
The life ahead without the sight of you

Escaping Reality
I looked at the wall
How scary it is it never fades
Tons of spiders and tons of rats
Definitely everything I’d ever fear
I scream and I ran
Shirked as I yell
There’s no one here I’m all alone
I ran and ran
In the opposite direction
Hoping I could find some peace
But then comes another wall
taller and bigger
Spiders and rats proportionate to its size
I cried and cried
There’s no one here to help
I ran and ran
But only in circles
Every turn comes something scarier
Every escape was my biggest...
How scary it is it never fades
Tons of spiders and tons of rats
Definitely everything I’d ever fear
I scream and I ran
Shirked as I yell
There’s no one here I’m all alone
I ran and ran
In the opposite direction
Hoping I could find some peace
But then comes another wall
taller and bigger
Spiders and rats proportionate to its size
I cried and cried
There’s no one here to help
I ran and ran
But only in circles
Every turn comes something scarier
Every escape was my biggest...

The Other Soul I Lost Mine in
I saw your name appeared
on the lock screen on my phone
it was saved a heart
the heart I gave away
I tried to hold myself back
but my hand reacted almost naturally
reaching out to the other soul
I lost mine in
the screen displayed my chat with you
oh god
I had never seen anyone so desperate before
10 messages I sent
excitedly telling you about my day
for me to receive an “oh” from you
my heart shattered to two
if only I still had a heart
but I gave mine away
to the other soul I lost mine in
on the lock screen on my phone
it was saved a heart
the heart I gave away
I tried to hold myself back
but my hand reacted almost naturally
reaching out to the other soul
I lost mine in
the screen displayed my chat with you
oh god
I had never seen anyone so desperate before
10 messages I sent
excitedly telling you about my day
for me to receive an “oh” from you
my heart shattered to two
if only I still had a heart
but I gave mine away
to the other soul I lost mine in

i'll choose you
and if the world's gonna end
i'll choose you over and over again
even in my afterlife
as many times as i get to
i'll choose you over and over again
even in my afterlife
as many times as i get to

Crave
write the word 'mine'
on my upper thigh
and wrapped your hands around my waist
screaming when are you gonna love me back
on my upper thigh
and wrapped your hands around my waist
screaming when are you gonna love me back

Toxicity
You say it's love, but I feel bound
Your words like chains, they tie me down
Possession masked as care and might
In your grasp, I lose my light
Is this what love feels like?

Orange
i hated oranges
it was never my taste, never in my bucket list
the colour orange disgusts me, the fruit orange disgusts me
anything orange disgusts me
that was until
he said
"i love orange"
and i smiled
and said
"i love orange too"
what did i just say?
i don't know
do i love orange?
oh hell yeah!
what's orange?
i don't know! but i love it!
i'll love what i hate
just because
i love you
and always will

Echoes of Tomorrow
3am in the morning
We dream away
Chasing stars leading us astray
Cos in every heartbeat
I fear tomorrow
Whisper
Whisper of the unknown
In every heartbeat
I fear tomorrow
Say that tomorrow’s gonna come
Scream
I dont wanna hear your whispers
Echo
Echoes of tomorrow
Scream it loud
Scream it loud
Say that tomorrow’s gonna come
Am i gonna be alright? Am i gonna live?
Am i gonna make it through the night? Or is this the end?
Tell me im gonna be alright
I wanna hear the echoes
That...

He's Not Just Anyone
Brown almond eyes
Fluffy black hair
Anyone would say that he’s anyone
But they don’t know
The way you held the door for me
The way you bought me flowers
The way you apologise
Even when im one at fault
You’re not just anyone
You’re my boy, my boy
You’re not just anyone
Cos they don’t know
The way you hear me out
The way you look out for me
The way you smile like an angel
Oh he’s not just anyone
I always loved how we hang out after school
How he helped me study
How he defended me
Against...

Endless Stream
Sweat fills a river
But the river flows in vain
And im nowhere near home
But the river flows in vain
And im nowhere near home
